“I made it bigger and it is still blurry”
The AI rebuilds edges and texture while enlarging, but it cannot bring back detail the camera never captured, such as heavy motion blur.
“My photo is too small for a 12x16 print and it looks pixelated”
How to make a photo higher resolution for print? The print size helper turns your paper size and DPI into the pixels needed and shows if 2× or 4× gets there, though a tiny source can still fall short.
“The AI made the faces look plastic and fake”
The AI restores detail instead of repainting, and the Compare slider lets you check faces before you download, though there are no face controls.
“Free tools cap my upscales or paywall the result”
New accounts get 30 free credits once, with no card and no watermark, then 2× costs 10 credits and 4× costs 20.
Sizes are the long edge of the image. Find your target, then see the smallest source that gives a photo higher resolution.
| Target | Long edge | Source needed at 4× | Source needed at 2× |
|---|---|---|---|
| HD 720p | 1280 px | 320 px | 640 px |
| Full HD 1080p | 1920 px | 480 px | 960 px |
| 2K | 2560 px | 640 px | 1280 px |
| 4K | 3840 px | 960 px | 1920 px |
| 8K | 7680 px | 1920 px | 3840 px |
| 16K | 15,360 px | 3840 px | Not reachable |
Uploads are capped at 3840 px on the long edge. A target your photo cannot reach is greyed out, with the largest size it can reach.
